Supermarket chain Aldi has submitted plans for a new store in Cardiff.

The planned multi-million pound store, on the site of the former Electrocoin factory and Texaco petrol station at Caerphilly Road, would create 40 new jobs.

Aldi said that staff would be paid a rate of £8.53 per hour.

A planning application for the store has now been submitted to Cardiff council, following a pre-application consultation period, in which Aldi said 68% of respondents were supportive of the proposed development.

Aldi's regional property director, Rob Jones, said: "We would like to thank local residents and key stakeholders for providing their feedback during the consultation period.

"We have worked hard to ensure that our submitted plans take into account the feedback we received, whilst providing an opportunity to redevelop this dilapidated and problematic site, which is seen as an eyesore locally.
